26、 Effective apologies are those that can be accepted by the offended（被冒犯的）party and help both parties to move on with no unpleasantness.Here are a few key tips on apologizing.
Don’t hurry to apologize
【1】But if the other party is still angry at your wrong doing,it may be more effective to wait because their anger may prevent them from accepting your apology.Therefore,the best time to apologize is when one feels ready to accept your apology.
Don’t make any excuses
Admitting to being wrong is painful and can make people worried that they’re a bad person.【2】For example,“I certainly apologize if I offended anyone”and“I’m very sorry,but in my defense,you started it”.
That sort of apology has a special name—nonapology.It uses the form of an apology“I’m sorry”but follows it up by blaming the offended person,implying（暗示）he or she is too sensitive.【3】.
Let your body do the talking
Face-to-face apologies beat phoned-in,emailed or handwritten ones.Facial expressions,body language,and the tone of voice have all been shown to be important channels that show sincerity when you express regret.Anyone can type“I feel really ashamed”.【4】.
A phone call is the second best.You’ll show your feelings with your voice and get quick responses.
E-mailed apologies aren’t perfect.They lack warm feelings.【5】 This might do harm to the apologizer.
A.Sometimes an immediate apology is called for.
B.So they often water down their apology with excuses.
C.But if you say it live,it’s obvious whether or not you mean it.
D.Don’t imply that the other person is wrong to feel upset or angry.
E.There is nothing worse in these situations than sincere apologies.
F.Even worse,the receivers can forward the written apologies to anyone.
G.Being a victim does not automatically change a person into a good person.

28、Electrical devices(仪器)could soon use power made by human energy. Scientists say they have developed an experimental device that produces electricity from the physical movement of a person walking , British scientist Max Donelan and other scientists in Canada and the United States developed the device.
The device connects to a person’s knee. As the person walks ,the device captures energy each time the person slows down. To do this ,the device helps with the slowing sown movement of the leg, the movements of the walking person push parts of a small machine that produces electricity. Using the device, an adult walking quickly could produce thirteen watts of electricity in just a minute. Donelan says walking at that speed could produce enough power to operate a laptop computer for six minutes.
There are several possible uses for the device. Developers say it could help people who work in areas without electricity to operate small computers. The device could also he used in hospitals to operate heart pacemakers(起博器), it could even be used to assist in the movement of robotic arms and legs.
The experimental version of the device weighs about one and a half kilograms, but it is too costly for most people to buy, but the researchers hope to make a lighter, less costly version, An improved version should be ready in one year.
The developers hope the device will one day help developing countries; nearly twenty five percent of people around the world live without electric power.
A similar product was invented in 2005 by Larry Rome of the University of Pennsylvania, He created a bag carried on a person’s back that also produces power from walking. The knee device does not produce as much electricity as the bag, but the bag requires the walker to carry a load of twenty to thirty kilograms.
【1】The second paragraph mainly talks about
A.who developed the device
B.how the device works
C.several possible uses for the devices
D.how much electricity the device can produce
【2】What is the disadvantage of the experimental version of the device?
A.It is too heavy for the walker to bear
B.It is too complex for people to use
C.It is too expensive for most people to afford
D.It will slow down one’s walking speed
【3】Compared with the device designed by Larry Rome, this new device
A.produces power without adding more loads to the walker
B.can produce more power in a much shorter time
C.needs to be equipped with a battery
D.can help the walker walk faster
【4】From the passage, we can learn that the electrical device can
A.help housewives operate the washing machine
B.make it much easier for us to go online
C.produce more electricity than that invented by Larry Rome
D.be applied in medical fields to operate heart pacemakers
【5】What would be the best title for the passage
A.First device powered by walking will soon be on the market
B.Advanced technology brings in a new way to operate heart pacemakers
C.Device gives new meaning to the idea of power walking
D.Human energy will become a main source of electricity
29、 When stress affects your sleep on a nightly basis, it sets you up for a terrible insomnia (失眠) that forces you to turn to sleeping pills.【1】
※ Target （把…作为目标）the enemy
“Every night a couple of hours before bed, sit down and make a list of all the problems you have to deal with,” says Donna Arand, director of Kettering Hospital Sleep Disorders Center. “Next to each item, write a solution or plan.” 【2】 That way, if thoughts of your problems arise as you’re trying to sleep, you can tell yourself, “I’ve got a plan and I’ll work on it tomorrow. “
※ Balance your work and activities
【3】 But a joint study of 314 workers found that workers with higher levels of enjoyable activities such as exercise, hobbies, and social activities, were able not only to come back from workplace stress better than their always-on-the-job coworkers but also sleep much better than others.
※ Deal with less
Four of the top ten stressors we experience are related to money.【4】 And how should we spend it? Given that, doesn’t it make sense that if we want less and are satisfied with less--smaller houses, and simpler forms of transportation--our stress levels will go down?
※ Give a nod to a nap （打盹）
It’s doubly unfortunate that stress makes it hard to get to sleep because, chemically speaking, the antidote （对抗手段）to stress is sleep. There is a way to deal with it.【5】 It’s true that one nap of up to 90 minutes between the hours of 1:00 and 4:00 P.M. during the day, will make people energetic again.
A.That’s by taking a nap.
B.Here’s how to step back from that state.
C.Now there is some advice on how to keep energetic.
D.When you ‘re ready for bed, put the list by the bedroom door.
E.It was reported recently that on-the-job stress has reached the worst levels.
F.How can we get it ?
G.Does stress always interrupt you?
30、 Like millions of people around the world, I used to spend every December making a New Year’s resolution or two. However, by February, like clockwork, exactly ______ would be achieved.
When I was younger, this didn’t ______ me all that much. But in my 20s I realized that trying to keep a ______ New Year’s resolution was like writing a novel or climbing a mountain — it just wasn’t achievable.
So, ______ focusing on one large thing and giving up when I didn’t succeed, I decided to make a ________ of little things I wanted to work on during the year. So far this has ______ things like keeping my house a little bit ______, spending more time with my dog and even dropping a few pounds. My _________ has been to focus on taking small steps every day.
I’m now making ______ toward those goals without feeling ______ pressured or disappointed that I haven’t done more. Simple upgrades like wiping down my bathroom sink every day after ______ my makeup (化妆品) have become second ______ to me. While losing weight, I focus on cutting just a pound at a time.
I don’t even ______ these New Year’s resolutions, and that helps to make my small goals feel more achievable. They’re just little goals I’ve set to be happier and healthier over time. I also ________ myself once in a while along the way. For example, I ______ myself a new pair of sneakers when I ran three weeks out of the month. And then there’s the free time I naturally have in tidying the bathroom sink every day, which takes less time than a deep ______ on a Sunday.
If keeping your New Year’s resolution is harder than you thought, the ______ to success might be giving up the idea of resolutions ______. Instead, ______ your goals into small milestones you can easily reach daily or weekly—and enjoy the ______ feeling of meeting each and every mini goal.

Note that there is one word more than you need.
A Bad Idea
Think you can walk, dive, take phone calls, e-mail and listen to music at the same time? Well, New York's new law says you can't. And you'll be 【1】 $S100 if you do it on a New York City street.
The law went into force last month, following research and a(n) 【2】number of accidents that involved people using electronic gadgets when crossing the street.
Who's to【3】 ? Scientists say that our multitasking abilities are limited.
"We are under the impression that our brain can do more than it often can," says Rene Marois, a neuroscientist in Tennessee. “But a major limitation is the inability to【4】on two things at once".
The young people are often considered the great multitaskers. However, an Oxford University research suggests this idea is open to question. A group of 18-to 21-year-olds and a group of 35-to 39-year-olds were given 90 seconds to translate【5】into numbers, using a simple code. The younger group did 10 percent better when not interrupted. But when both groups were interrupted by a phone call or a(n) 【6】message, the older group matched the younger group in speed and 【7】.
It is difficult to measure the productivity【8】by multitaskers. But it is probably a lot. Jonathan Spire, chief analyst at Basex. a business-research firm, estimates the cost of interruptions to the American economy at nearly $650 billion a year.
The【9】is based on surveys with office workers. The surveys conclude that 28 percent of the workers' time was spent on interruptions and【10】time before they returned to their main tasks.
